This time,the bad guys take the stage.
Tanith Low,now possessed by a remnant,recruits a gang of villains - many of whom will be familiar from previous Skulduggery adventures - in order to track down and steal the four God-Killer level weapons that could hurt Darquesse when she eventually emerges. Also on the trail of the weapons is a secret group of Sanctuary sorcerers,and doing his best to keep up and keep Tanith alive is one Mister Ghastly Bespoke.
When the villains around her are lying and scheming and plotting,Tanith needs to stay two steps ahead of her teammates and her enemies. After all,she's got her own double-crosses to plan - and she's a villain herself...

Derek Landy
As the helmsman of the wildly-successful Skulduggery Pleasant series,Derek Landy exchanged a life as a sometime writer of screenplays to,almost overnight,becoming one of the world's biggest names in children's fiction. Debuting in 2007,Skulduggery Pleasant took its readers on a wild ride to the undead,where the niece of a famous horror writer suddenly discovers that what he was writing wasn't so fictional after all. In 2015,Landy briefly stepped away from his Skulduggery duties to pen a fresh trilogy for young adults,Demon Road,and as something of a Whovian,contributed a tale to the Doctor Who collection 12 Doctors 12 Stories.
